Morning Dilemma: Choosing Lunch For Your Son
To pack or not to pack, that’s the question plaguing mothers everywhere. Both have their pros and cons and the choice is not always clear.
For busy parents on the go, the obvious choice is the school lunch. School lunches usually give children at least two choices and they are well balanced. Children can receive either juice or milk with their meal. School lunches also save parents time since they don’t have to keep portable food items on hand for packing.
Usually, the lunch staff will check to make sure each child receives an entre. This ensures parents their child isn’t just eating treats for lunch.
Sometimes the schools further monitor the student’s eating habits. Ask the school what their policies are and get a copy of the school lunch menu for each month.
Some parents prefer packing a lunch because it allows them to have control over what their children are eating. It is also usually cheaper than buying lunch on a regular basis — although some parents consider the time saved in the morning a tradeoff.
Pack their favorite foods and you know they’ll eat them. You can be assured of their nutritious value, as well. Include some money for milk or juice or pack a drink, too.
Another choice would be to do both. Screen the school lunch schedule and select the days they are having meals your children like and you approve of. Go ahead and pack their lunches on the remaining school days. This system will make everyone happy since your children get to eat all the foods they like and you only have to pack on select days.
To pack or buy is ultimately a personal decision for parents and can change depending on their circumstances.
